Buffing Polishing Pads, SPTA 5Pcs 6.5 Inch Face for 6 Inch 150mm Backing Plate Compound Buffing Sponge Pads Cutting Polishing Pad Kit For Car Buffer Polisher Compounding, Polishing and Waxing -SQMIX65

I would say overall 3/5 stars. They’re built somewhat good. However after almost finishing up a Dodge Ram truck, the pad ripped. I was only giving the truck a light polish, nothing crazy. Now if you’re gonna use these for a one time use and throw away then these are good . They’re cheap and effective but do not use these on nicer vehicles that require more attention. The last thing you want to do is worry if these will rip or not. Lucky for me, I kinda felt the integrity was going down. So I was prepared and didn’t hit my machine on the paint. But I can see that being a major problem with these.

These babies do the job! my son scratched my car parking next to a bush and I was able to get all the scratches out with these and maguiers polishing paste.

I have Griots G9, and a Flag Blue gel coat on my boat. These pads worked great. I paired these with Jescar Compound, Mirco polish and Power Lock. Used the Heavy cut + compound after 1500/2000 grit wet sanding some fender rash. I didnt have a rotary polisher, thought I was going to be SOL....but worked great. Ran the DA at 6...no problems. Used the light cut on the polish. Used to finish with the Power Lock. No Holos. No swirl. Best results Ive had so far.... NO problems with durability. The pads have a nice little cross cuts in them that hold the polish. Totally durable...will easily last me 2-3 more rounds of polishing, maybe more.

These pads work extremely well when used in steps from course to ultra fine polishing. Just wash them when finished with soapy water and set them aside to dry and they are ready to use for your next polishing job.

I used these pads with a 3 step paint polishing kit from 3M, I used them on a Porta-cable variable speed 6 random orbital sander, with a hook and loop system. I polished a heavily oxidized and scratched up 1999 ford ranger pick up. Oh, the diffrence is amazing, started it was old and dull, now shinny and lively looking paint. The pads held up very well, some signs of wear, but the pads did their job very well, the hook and loop held well, I only slung off one pad when I failed to switch off the buffer when it was not in contact with the paint job. They seem to me to be a very solid value, and should last long enough to polish more than a couple of cars.

Would purchase again

I did not realize the importance of using the proper pad for rubbing compounds, polishing, and waxing. I would use the same pad with a rubbing compound and expect it to remove swirl marks. Work myself to death with poor results and then blame the compound. This pad set provides everything you need to remove minor scuffs and scratches from you paint so it will look like new. I have a 2004 truck that had light oxidation and I thought it needed a paint job. I ran across this kit and the results were astounding. I cant speak to how they hold up for a professional but, I can say they held up well for me. Watch a few videos to see how to use them properly and you will be pleased with the results. I used the Dewalt orbital sander with these pads; while misting with a water bottle and, while only using the compound. I say personal preference prevails here but, both methods are effective. Adding more compound and/or water before the pad dries with ensure they last. Also keep them clean for improved performance and longevity. Highly recommend the pads...and watch a few videos for technique.

They work but are small, and probably wont hold up long, but they will get the job done and they are not expensive.

Holds up pretty decent for the price of the buffer pads. Turn down your speed on your electric buffer and they will hold up fine. We use them on tractors and large farm equipment and they work well for the price.

The pads are super high quality for the money. Extremely durable. Used for compounding my 21 foot bowrider boat. Started with the yellow pad with restorer wax. Progressively went up to the next pad for the cleaner wax. Finally finished up with Star Brite marine polish with the next to the last pad saving the last pad for a coat of Collinite Carnuba wax should I need it. 2 coats of Star Brite marine polish and I can see my reflection quite clearly on my Royal Blue Gel coat. Shouldnt need the wax as the polish is a polymer blend. The pads didnt tear, wear, or break up in any way. They wash up easily and can be reused many times. Would buy again but probably wont need to as these pads are tough. Look no further. You will be happy with them.
